Greetings Steinhardt
community! I recently
moved to New York
from San Diego to begin
a program in Education
Leadership, Politics, &
Advocacy and am thoroughly enjoying my
transition thus far.
Aside from planning to enroll in some captivating
courses here over the next couple of years, I’m also eager to get connected to several communities throughout NYU and beyond! It’s also my goal to try as many
vegetarian options around New York while I’m here. I
hope to see you at some of our events this year!
